Rural Mobility Centre of Excellence

We ran a survey with local parish councils to help understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing rural communities across the Transport East region. This survey looked at how close and how easy it is for people to access essential facilities such as education, medical and food shopping. It also included leisure activities including libraries, exercise, and leisure shopping.

Parishes were also asked to identify the key areas of concern for transport in their communities and rate the transport facilities. Over 370 parishes responded.

We analysed and mapped the responses to give a fuller picture of the transport needs in our rural areas. It shows where there are opportunities for improvement and the obstacles to be overcome.

The Rural Mobility Survey Summary report includes more analysis of the survey results.

The dashboard below shows the availability of facilities in responding parishes and levels of satisfaction with transport provision.

For the best experience, we recommend viewing the dashboard full screen.
